Compare brush and color

Question

if (backBrush == SystemColors.ActiveCaption)

It fails. Says you cannot compare brush and color.

How to find brush color?

Answer 1

If the backBrush is a SolidColorBrush (based on what you are trying to do, this probably is), you can use:

if(((SolidColorBrush)backBrush).Color == SystemColors.ActiveCaption)

Answer 2

If the brush is a SolidBrush, you can compare the brush's Color element. Something like that.

SolidBrush solidBrush = brush as SolidBrush;
if (solidBrush != null && solidBrush.Color == SystemColors.ActiveCaption)
{
  // ....
}

Above for WinForms, for WPF you would use SolidColorBrush , not SolidBrush.

Answer 3

Brush Color / ..

(HatchBrush ), :

((HatchBrush)backBrush).BackgroundColor == SystemColors.ActiveCaption

Answer 4

SystemBrushes?

if (backBrush == SystemBrushes.ActiveCaption)
{...
